Not All Heroes Wear Capes 

Not All Heroes Wear Capes by Scott Tetlow is a standout piece from his Urban Chimps limited edition series—an artwork that cleverly fuses social commentary with nostalgic charm. Featuring one of Tetlow’s iconic chimpanzee characters, this piece captures the essence of quiet heroism, humorously reminding us that everyday bravery often comes without fanfare. With his signature ink technique and expressive line work, Tetlow invites us to reflect on the quirks and contradictions of human behaviour—through the familiar yet disarming gaze of a chimp.

Playful yet thought-provoking, Not All Heroes Wear Capes blends pop culture references, emotional depth, and artistic finesse. Available in both standard and miniature editions, it’s a powerful conversation starter that celebrates the unnoticed hero in all of us.
